Congratulations to Professor Nikos Hadjichristidis who has been awarded for his 50 years contribution in polymer science.We are grateful to Prof. Hadjichristidis for all his work in the field of polymer research.

​Congraulations to Professor Nikos Hadjichristidis who has been awarded the Macro Group UK Medal for Outstanding Achievement for 2016.

Professor Hadjichristidis has won the 2015 ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry for his seminal contributions to the use of living anionic polymerization in the design/synthesis of well-defined polymers and to the understanding of macromolecular architecture-property relationships.

Prof. Nikos Hadjichristidis was recently awarded the 2015 American Chemical Society (ACS) Award in Polymer Chemistry sponsored by ExxonMobil Chemical Company. He will be honored at an awards ceremony on March 24, 2015, in conjunction with the 249th ACS national meeting in Denver. ACS will also organize a symposium in honor of Prof. Hadjichristidis during the national meeting.

Prof. Nikos Hadjichristidis was recently selected as a 2014 POLY Fellow for his contributions in advancing the field of polymer science. This award was established in 2009 by the Polymer Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and recognizes excellence in advancing the field of polymer science, either through scientific accomplishments, service to the profession, or both. The 2014 awardees were honored during a ceremony at the Spring ACS Meeting in Texas, US.

Polymeric
materials play an essential and ubiquitous role in nature, everyday life and
industry. The production, processing and applications of polymers constitute a
significant part of petrochemical industry. Polymers are one of the most
important strategic research areas of KAUST and Saudi Arabia. A
High-Level Conference, entitled “KAUST Polymer Conference: From Synthesis to
Properties and Applications” will be held from 9 November -13 November 2013. The conference will
cover the most appealing topics in contemporary polymer sciences and
technologies.

​The Asian Chemical Congress (ACC) is held at two yearly intervals hosted by the members of the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS) which comprises 30 chemical societies of countries and territories in the Asia Pacific. This year, the 15th ACC will be held in Singapore from 19 August 2013 to 23 August 2013. The scientific program comprises sessions that illustrate the relevance and value of chemistry in modern science and technology. Dr Junpeng Zhao and Dr Hefeng Zang, two postdoctoral fellows from Prof. Nikolaos Hadjichristidis group of Polymer Synthesis Laboratory at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology will present their work.​

​The Lindau Nobel
Laureate Meetings – established in 1951 – provide globally recognized forums
for the exchange of knowledge and ideas between Nobel Laureates and young
researchers. They inspire scientific generations and build sustainable networks
of young researchers from around the world. Following the regular alternation
of scientific disciplines, the 2013 Lindau Meeting will focus on chemistry. The
central topics will be Green Chemistry, chemical energy conversion and storage,
as well as biochemical processes and structures.

The beginning and end dates for each internship will be agreed upon between the Faculty and the Intern. Visa processing time will be a determining factor in actual start date. Minimum period is three months. Maximum period is six months.
